Late-maturing type won the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (good) in 2024; did not appear last year until September and failed to recapture his best form in three runs, only fifth behind Spycatcher when favourite at Doncaster on last of them; reversed that form (and had James's Delight behind) when fourth in a 6f Listed race at the same venue eight weeks ago.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

Arrives late on the scene and had a stellar 2024, his three wins including this race (soft) and the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (good); wasn't seen last year until September and didn't fully fire in three runs, only fifth behind Spycatcher when favourite over C&D on last of them; dangerous if rebounding but has to prove he retains all his ability.

J: James Doyle

T: William Haggas

C&D Listed winner; has a colourful run style as he arrives late on the scene but his finishing dash is hard to withstand when on song, as for a Group 1 win at Haydock (good; well suited by soft) in 2024; a promising belated return over 5f in September was followed by a downbeat effort in a Group 1 at Ascot but he's never really flourished on that track and he has much more going for him down in class on soft ground.

Made the leap from top handicaps to Listed/Group races last season, winning the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, good) by a head from Kind Of Blue, before finishing fifth to that rival in this event; 11 months off when an encouraging third of 11 in Group 3 at Newbury last month, getting going too late on his first attempt at 5f; that run suggests he retains all his ability and he's a serious candidate four weeks on.

Made the leap from top handicaps to Pattern races last season, winning a Group 3 on Newcastle AW before Group 1 success at Haydock last September (6f, good; acts well on soft); close up in fifth in the Champions Sprint at Ascot 336 days ago; that race is likely to be on his agenda again and the suitability of 5f has to be taken on trust back from a layoff.
